Solid unit but can't access via Ethernet port

I have 3 of these units in my remote observatory and being able to view information on them remotely is extremely important. I wish it were possible to access them directly via the Ethernet port. They are too far away from my equipment for a USB connection, and one unit only has networking gear on it.
Pros: High Quality, High Confidence Level in 24/7 Uptime
These little 1500VA Tower UPS Units are a very common site at SMB companies for a reason. They are solid and reliable and seem to last forever. Can't go wrong with these especially the newer models with SmartConnect remote monitor software. Highly recommended!

The battery needed replacing. I found a trade option where I got an updated UPS with a new battery at a great price. I have used the old APC UPS for over 10 years and it has worked flawlessly. The new UPS installed easily and was up and running the same day as I received it. Great peace of mind. When the electricity fails, any computer not on the UPS gets hammered. Great purchase.

Bought this UPS several weeks ago to replace a unit that was several years old due to the battery failing to charge. The unit purchased is the current model of the one it replaced but with a few more features. Fortunately the new unit arrived and was operating a couple of days before our most recent power failure and the devices attached continued to function with out hiccup until the power was restored.

I replaced an older APC UPS that I have had for many years, as I have installed a cloud based RAID and purchased a new computer. Western Digital suggested that I purchase a smart UPS, and even provided a list of recommendations. This thing, however has greatly exceeded my expectations. My previous model worked well for many year, and I had replaced the batteries in it once. This one is SO feature laden compared to the previous one. I love having so much information about my current at my fingertips, and even getting alerts when there is any issue. This is one amazing product.
